LED tubes: Energy-efficient replacement for fluorescent tubes

LED tubes, LED fluorescent tube replacement. Fluorescent tubes are used millions of times in the commercial sector. The standard lengths of 60cm in louvered luminaires and 120cm and 150cm in length are usually used. In conjunction with fluorescent tubes, a starter or ballast is always used. Conventional ballasts in the variants CCG (simple starter) or low-loss ballast (LLB) are very well suited for conversion to LED (fluorescent) tubes.

LED Tubes Which length and diameter

The 90cm T8-LED tube is less common and is mostly used in furniture or showcases. If existing luminaires are to be replaced, they must be remeasured before purchase. The T8 tubes have a diameter of 26mm. The base / the socket is called G13.

LED Tubes - The price and quality features

This is the criterion for many customers. Single LEDs have long lifetimes between 30,000 and 50,000 hours. This is also usually stated in the product information. The LED tubes also contain electronic components (such as capacitors and triacs). The quality of these components and their processing - for example at the solder joints - have an important influence on the actually expected service life.

Brightness of LED tubes

Normally this has to be calculated exactly in each individual case. For example, we would not offer a 150cm LED tube with a luminous flux of 2500 lumens. With a wider beam angle, a little more.

Investment: Can you really save money with a 30 Euro LED tube lamp compared to a 3 Euro tube?

Yes, especially in companies or businesses with long operating and opening hours. It doesn't matter whether it is a company with 2 or 500 employees. For the efficiency of T8 LED tubes, the daily operating times (operating times or opening times in retail), the considerably longer service life of the LED tubes but also the lower maintenance costs are decisive criteria.

Power saving LED tube: 50% and more are in it.

The following savings are possible with the 4 standard sizes of fluorescent tubes:

Length Current consumption Fluorescent tube Consumption LED tube Savings Field of application

The classic fluorescent tube is always operated in conjunction with a ballast (low-loss ballast, electronic ballast, conventional ballast). This consumes additional power, which can be up to 15 watts per bulb. When simply replacing the fluorescent lamp with LLB with an LED tube, the ballast unit continues to be operated. It may be more economical to replace the complete luminaire in order to supply the LEDs directly with 230V.

An individual calculation is necessary.

LED tubes made of glass

We no longer sell LED tubes made of glass. The reason for this is the higher risk of breakage in use, a faster loss of luminous flux and less durability in continuous use.

LED Tubes Light colour / Colour temperature:

The light colour is indicated in Kelvin (K). In the commercial sector or office, a neutral white between 4500-5000 Kelvin is usually used. This is perceived as stimulating and less tiring during work. In living rooms or to achieve ambient effects, a warm white light colour (2700-3300 Kelvin) is usually chosen, which has a cosy effect.

In manufacturing, workshops or industry, where precise vision, good contrasts and very bright illumination are often required to ensure faultless work, a light colour from 5500 Kelvin to 6500 Kelvin, known as cold white or daylight white, is often used. This is also considered less tiring and stimulating. In addition, daylight white has a better reproduction of contrasts, which is an additional safety factor at work.

Colour rendering:

Especially when selling, presenting products or working with paints or varnishes, the correct reproduction of colours plays an important role. When purchasing, pay attention to the colour information RA or CRI. This indicates exactly how colors can be reproduced

LED moisture-proof luminaires or LED diffuser luminaires are used when there is a fluctuating or permanently high humidity (e. g. cold storage rooms) or a high level of dust and particle contamination, such as in the woodworking trade, in paper processing or in paint shops where chemical vapours and varnishes are handled.LED damp-proof luminaires help to prevent rapid wear and tear of the light source and to avoid dangerous influences on the electrical system.LED moisture-proof diffuser luminaires are mostly used in areas where a permanently high humidity of over 70% is maintained or where steam is emitted during cleaning.We offer many different LED diffuser luminaires in our assortment. For example, damp-proof luminaires LED with exchangeable T8 LED tubes or LED diffuser luminaires with fixed LED strips.Our assortment also includes LED diffuser luminaires with fire protection D number plates for use in joiner's shops, for example.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

Batten fittings LED ready. We offer LED ready batten fittings in the standard sizes 600mm, 1200mm and 1500mm. The T8 batten fittings will be operated without ballast. Therefore no additional electricity is consumed.

The 4ft and 5ft LED batten light fittings are available as single versions and twin versions for one or two T8 LED tubes.

Industrial spotlights & high bay lights

Industrial emitters & bay light HQL industry emitters and indoor radiators will increasingly be replaced in the coming years. By 2015 the production of HQL lights will be banned in Europe. Many thousands high-pressure mercury lamps (HQL) have to be removed and replaced. On the market you will get different technologies and alternatives allowing for a winning promising conversion or replacement of bay light.
This depends on several factors:

energy efficiency

The main argument for a new generation of hall lamps is energy efficiency and the requirement for a lower energy consumption. Reduced electricity costs in hall spotlights: Energy costs can be decreased by the exchange or conversion on induction lighting or LED bay light sby about 40-60%. It always depends on the local conditions. Using modern technologies can achieve the same or better light quality at a 50% lower power consumption. Often combined with contrast-enhanced light output.

Maintenance costs / life time:

In industrial buildings with a height 8-16 meters, the maintenance factor is an economic aspect, which is often not considered. Classic high-pressure mercury lamps (HQL) with a lifespan between 5000-7000 hours quickly lose their luminosity and must be replaced frequently. Lighting design installations have often been oversized the past so, this resulted in higher electricity costs.
Glare

When selecting new technologies lights with long life, high efficiency and a high lumen maintenance factor are recommended. This guarantees a constant quality of the emitted luminous flux of the lamp over a longer period.

Longer maintenance cycles for plants at high altitudes be financially directly noticeable.

Glare and blinding:

The subject of LEDs is currently on everyone's lips. However, using LED in indoor spotlights glare is an important issue. The high level light output of an LED emitter from a moderately small area- LED modules produce a short blinding effect to the human eye. This can lead to glare and short failures of the visual performance. The problem is especially when working with a forklift in high racks, rides to the load or crane with a brief look at the ceiling. This can result in dangerous situations.

Possible alternatives are induction lamps which radiate over a larger area, thereby producing substantially less glare.

Remodeling hall lights:

As a replacement for high-pressure mercury lamps (HQL) alternative conversion kits that allow to obtain the lamp and replace only the bulb and the electronic ballast are available as cost-effective solution.
A conversion can be achieved quickly for an experienced technician. Our induction conversion kits which can be incorporated into existing HQL lamps offer an affordable solution.

Induction lighting is extremely reliable and easy to maintain, has a high light output and produces a pleasant light to the human eye.
Not without reason is set on high bridges and runways of airports on induction lighting.

LED panels offer a number of advantages and design possibilities for commercial use.

One advantage of the LED panels is the very good energy efficiency ratios due to their low power consumption. They produce a beautiful, uniform light that creates less glare due to the area-based radiation. This makes the inlay luminaire also very suitable for use at computer workstations.

LED tracklights: We offer a range of energy-efficient LED spotlights for 3-phase track lighting from 10W with 600 lumens to over 4000 lumen luminous flux. 3-phase track LED spotlights are often used as LED spotlights in retail stores and for accent lighting of products and goods.

Our customers are mainly small to large retail stores, pharmacies, bookstores, galleries and large museums. A large number of LED rail spotlights are also used on trade fair stands. In the meantime, customers mostly choose models with very good colour rendering and colour fidelity. The light quality and product illumination of our CRI92 models has convinced customers in many tests.

The heat generation is also significantly lower with LED 3-phase rail spotlights and is therefore an ideal replacement for the very hot CMT spotlights, for example. The very low proportion of UV light also protects goods from fading. LED spotlights for 3-phase track lights are very flexible in mounting and use.

They can be rotated, aligned on exhibition areas and quickly reassembled. We offer LED track spotlights with exchangeable optics to optimally adjust the beam angle between 24° and 60° depending on the requirements. Up to 50% or more of electricity costs can be saved in exchange for conventional track spotlights. You can find our 3-phase track spotlight LED here...

LED recessed luminaires: space-saving and efficient

In the production process or in small scale enterprises, there are different requirements for different types of lighting. An important characteristic is the sector that is worked in. The type and quality of lighting has a proven high impact on employee productivity and the quality of work. The prevention of poor product quality and weak employee performance due to low fatigue, but also the avoidance of accidents at work, are key requirements for an efficient lighting system.

Depending on the industryandthe work taskappropriately highrequirements are placed onthe lighting systemItis the objectto realize a high energyefficiency lighting system with an optimumlightingquality.

LED industrial lights help to meet these requirements perfectly. The challenge for the industrial lighting system is to is minimize impact of external influences such as dust, shavings, temperature fluctuations, permanently high humidity or chemical vapors.

LED damp-proof luminaires, can ensure good protection and consistent light quality

LED retrofit

For the most common bulbs there are now very good and affordable LED bulbs that achieve a good light color and a long lifetime. The power savings after the replacement vary between 50-60% with a comparable light intensity. Replacing classic bulbs with LED bulbs is often described by the term ?LED Retrofit?.

The conversion of existing bulbs by LED retrofit is a fairly quick and simple way to achieve energy savings. The standard sockets and bulbs as the standard bulb socket as E27 LED, E14 Leds (candles), GU5.3, GU10, as well as in the commercial sector widespread T8 fluorescent tube (neon) and E40 lamps are available as LED retrofit lamps. We have created a short summary with tips, how to select the proper LED bulb for your needs.
